It was a baffling sequence at the time that only looks worse now

deliver supplies to the frontlines, mostly to Patton's army, roughly every 5 minutes, 24/7, for almost 3 months, with the hum of American truck engines bring so constant that it caused documented morale problems among German soldiers

Watched a YouTube video about the Red Ball Express and how the German army brass kept thinking it would devolve into chaos because American lieutenants were making decisions that Germany reserved for generals.

Instead, America built an insane supply network in France in 48 hours where a truck would

For Magdi and for anyone else who needs to hear it: you are loved, and we'll always leave the light on for you.

It's a good reminder that being the kind of person who would never themselves commit DA isn't enough; it's a problem we all have to try to make better in whatever small way that we can, starting with being willing to hear people out when they speak their truth, even when it's sometimes hard to hear.

went through with domestic violence is heart-breaking, of course, but made worse by the fact that someone who has always been so kind and so giving of herself to people like me could be taken advantage of and abused so thoroughly, and then abused further by a system that refused to believe her.

from different directions, it has always helped me clarify and better articulate my own opinions than I'd have done on my own.

In fact, the most successful post I ever made on Twitter was a dumb Breaking Bad meme I made that mentioned her(and pleizar) by name.

Reading her story about what she

I am so sorry this happened, Magdi.

I am just an internet rando, but know that you are in my thoughts.

I suspect that if you administered a truth serum and then asked the median political reporter if whites were superior to other races, their answer would be "Yes, but it is impolite to say so,"

They don't object to Miller's racism. They just object, when they do object, to his vocalizing it.

It's really the only explanation for why Gone with the Wind is 45 hours long

I want to be clear that not-Rick is supposed to be this super cool scientist genius, and his plan to solve the crisis the game's plot revolves around is "Wake up a fuck ton of people from cryo-sleep and one of them will be able to figure it out. Probably"

In terms of gameplay, the first game was fine, but it's politics are a weird, dumb, and all over the place.

As a result, none of the satire lands because half the time it can't seem to figure out what it's trying to satire.

And yeah, the main scientist really is just "Rick, but dumber"

this should have ended with "isn't crossing ethical boundaries"

"But I don't have horrible ethics!"

Ok, good for you, but you still profit from an industry where the highest levels of your profession clearly don't believe in ethics at all, so even if you don't do this, I have no reason to respect that your ethics are anything more than a temporary inconvenience

No one should ever trust these institutions until they prove they mean it.

But they don't. It's why Glenn Thrush, whose actions would have gotten me blacklisted from any industry I've ever worked in, only got a lateral transfer, and the outrage from his peers was such that THAT got reversed.

Everyone, no matter how minor their involvement. Ditto the NYT. Ditto the NY. You edited one of her pieces? I hope you enjoy delivering pizzas. You spell checked his bullshit for the New Yorker? Your city probably needs garbage men.

And yeah, you can't tell people that the media values ethics and transparency when Vox puts out a legal statement saying they investigated the Nuzzi/RFK affair and exonerated everyone involved of any wrong doing.

You want to prove I'm wrong: call for EVERYONE involved at Vox to resign in shame.

You can't tell me that the industry that gave Toobin a slap on the wrist doesn't have a sexual abuse problem. You can't tell me the industry where leaked Trump campaign emails show they knew EXACTLY which "independent" reporters to call if they wanted to get in front of a bad story
